Martial Arts After Forty is the first book ever to explore the needs and advantages of the over-forty martial artist. It takes an in-depth look at the realities of training in mid-life including: What type of exercises are beneficial and which ones are dangerous? What are the effects of aging and what impact do they have on training? How can baby boomers keep up in a class of Gen-Xers? What types of injuries are common after forty and how can you prevent them? In addition to providing a wealth of fitness and training information, author Sang H. Kim addresses the fact that many older martial artists are looking for something more meaningful than just a good workout. His positive and knowledgeable approach to taking up or continuing martial arts training after 40 is inspiring, reassuring and informative. This book should be read by every adult martial artist regardless of age.

Reviewer: Don Hylton from Calexico, CA I started studying martial arts again after a short layoff of 20 years or so. I purchased Master Kim's book and it has been a great help. The knees aren't what they used to be, and I was getting a little discouraged. However, Master Kim has helped me realize that I might not progress as fast as I did 20 years ago, but I can still do it. Komapsumnida Master Kim.
